Chapter 556: Better Looking Than the Immortal Daughter
The inside and outside of the house is very lively.
According to etiquette, for a big wedding in the countryside, you have to ride a donkey to greet your relatives in the morning, but Liao Qing is here to be a son-in-law, Xu Jiaojiao is too lazy to greet her, and the two villages are close to each other, just across a ditch, and Liao Qing said in advance that he would ride a donkey by himself when he arrived at the auspicious day.
Xu Jiaojiao got up early in the morning, and the ladies of the old Xu family were busy combing her hair and face.
In the past, little girls could wear their hair, and on the day of marriage, they had to comb their hair in a bun, pull up their hair, shave the fluff on their faces with a thin thread and rope, and then apply powder and apply their faces.
Xu Jiaojiao used to be fat, with unknown facial features, but after losing weight, her facial features are delicate and three-dimensional, and she is usually very good-looking without makeup.
The matchmaker came early, and when she saw Xu Jiaojiao, she simply praised her.
"Oh, this is a fairy girl who fell from the sky! Really good-looking, I have given people a good deed in my life, and there are not hundreds of brides I have seen, but there are also dozens of them, and none of them are more beautiful than Xu Jiajiaojiao, this look, this skin, this temperament, this figure, this blessing, hey, better than the fairy daughter, ten miles and eight towns, if our family Jiaojiao says that the second is good-looking, then there is no dare to say the first! Especially wearing this new wedding dress, I'm afraid it's more expensive than the queen mother in the palace, tsk......tt"
After praising Xu Jiaojiao, she didn't stop, and then praised Liao Qing, "Our Liao Qing descendants are also good-looking, in our ten miles and eight townships, Liao Qing's descendants are also the most handsome, the real heaven and earth design, a match made in heaven, the most proud of the media I have done in my life is the family affair between your old Xu family and the old Liao family." β
It's also this family business that earns the most.
Xu Zhang's hand was generous, and every time he invited her, he always carried a big bag of good things.
Ordinary people can get a few hundred dollars at most when they talk about a family business.
Xu Zhang's light and everything gave her a few taels of silver, especially the fabric, the fabric of the old Xu family is a popular style in the city, there is no one in the countryside, but the gold is expensive, she is using the fabric given to her by the old Xu family today, making a new dress, wearing it feels face-saving, many mothers-in-law of the same age as her, all peeked at her with envious eyes.
The old is satisfied.
Seeing Xu Jiaojiao's dress, the words of praise kept popping up as if they didn't want money.
Not only the matchmaker praises, but everyone praises the good looks.
It's so pretty!
Xu Jiaojiao looked at herself in the bronze mirror and felt that it was quite beautiful.
It's becoming more and more like herself in her previous life, especially after losing weight.
Liao Qing didn't need her to pick it up, the auspicious day of the church had not yet arrived, and relatives and friends gathered in the hall in her backyard. At this time, it was the time for relatives and friends to add makeup to Xu Jiaojiao, and they all took out the gifts they had prepared.
This makeup is different from the box, the box is a favor, given to the Lord's family.
Makeup is a gift for the newlyweds and a good blessing for the newlyweds.
First of all, I took the gift of makeup for my family.
The boss Xu Darong's family is naturally back, Xu Jiaojiao got married for such a big thing, he arrived home a day in advance, he is the boss of the old Xu family, among all people, he is the first, this is a face-showing thing, he took out a set of wood made of exquisite pen holder, and a few handwritten calligraphy and paintings, half-framed, a set of four treasures of the study.
"Congratulations to the old sister on her new marriage, I don't have anything to give my eldest brother, I see that you usually can read and write and make accounts, so I prepared a set of four treasures for you, pen and paper, which are not valuable things, and you use the bookkeeping to pay off, these words I wrote by myself, a hundred years of good match, a match made in heaven, but also a good fortune, jubilant."
Xu Jiaojiao smiled and groaned, "Thank you, big brother." β
Everyone was amazed, "Wow, big brother is so atmospheric, the things sent by this reader are level, elegant and ......"
"But it's not, it's expensive for scholars, it's worth a lot of money!"
"It's worth it! The things of the scholars are old and rare, and the eldest brother of the Xu family is out of the bank, and the brother and sister are deeply affectionate. β
β¦β¦
Xu Darong humbly arched his hand in all directions, "It's not worth it, the old sister likes it, and on the big day, add joy to the old girl." β
Yao's distress, although these things were not bought, they were taken by Xu Darong from the master's house, but they were indeed worth some silver, and if they were sold, they could be exchanged for a few taels.
She mentioned to Xu Darong that she only planned to accept a few pairs of soles in the fourth room, and they didn't need to give them any good ones.
Xu Darong dismissed her, saying, this is the best time to show that he, a big brother, loves his younger sister, and is a good time for his brother and sister to be respectful, how can he be sloppy?
If there is any contradiction in private, you can quarrel behind closed doors, and you still have to do it in front of outsiders.
Xiucai's face can't be lost, and he can still get closer to his sister and alleviate his father's opinion of him, so what's so bad?
The key is that these things are given by the main family, and the main family treats him well, I heard him say that he asked for leave to go back to participate in the wedding of his old sister, and the main family has also heard of Xu Jiaojiao's name, and the Qingxi Xu wine, which has a good reputation recently, is brewed by her, and wants to have a relationship with Xu Jiaojiao, so he gave a set of four treasures of the study, a pen holder, saying that it was to add makeup to his old sister, and then, Xu Darong took it as a faΓ§ade himself, and did not mention the words of the main family.
After Xu Darong gave the makeup, Xu Youde smiled and nodded on the side.
Quite satisfied.
Xu Zhang was also a little surprised, but he didn't fall on his face.
Looking at Yao, Yao smiled and took out several silk handkerchiefs.
"Old girl, I embroidered a few handkerchiefs for you, sister-in-law, I have a little heart, don't dislike it."
Xu Jiaojiao accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law." β
Yao's embroidery is not bad, embroidering a mandarin duck playing in the water, and a full moon......
The people on the side cheered, and they all said that it was beautiful and exquisite.
"The satin of this handkerchief is good at first glance, and the embroidery is better, so it took a lot of thought."
"Good-looking, if you take it out and sell it, you can sell it for a lot of money, you are worthy of being a talented lady, you have insight, and your tricks are better than others."
Xu Jiaojiao is a person who doesn't use silk and satin handkerchiefs, she still likes pure cotton handkerchiefs, which are more comfortable to use.
Pure cotton is not embroidered, simple and simple, cheap and applicable.
But Yao's heart must be thanked.
Xu Zhang didn't say anything, and the next thing was Xu Dahua, the second child, to add makeup.
As soon as the makeup of the second room was taken out, everyone shouted in unison!
"Wow, it's beautiful!"
"A set of silver ornaments! It looks like a specially created ......."
